Chat and Push tokens in Trigger Payload

changelog cover

You can now pass your push and chat tokens directly from novu.trigger endpoint. This eliminates the need for a separate process to keep push tokens in sync with Novu.

This behavior aligns with how email and phone fields can be passed during the trigger phase.

novu.trigger('workflow-id', {
  to: {
    subscriberId: 'subscriber-id',
    channels: [
      {
        providerId: 'fcm',
        credentials: {
          deviceTokens: ['token-1'],
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  payload: {},
});

Our API will upsert those credentials on the subscriber entity and use them for delivery.


New Custom Step Type

changelog cover

You can now run custom code as part of your Echo workflows. Our workflow engine will ensure the durability and persistence of running your code.

Custom steps is our way to unlock limitless flexibility when it comes to your workflows:

  • Integrate with 3rd party services like CMS, Localization, Templating, HubSpot

  • Fetch and reuse data from your database and reuse across your workflow

  • Run AI Prompts to enrich your notifications

  • Create a custom provider that Novu might not be supported yet

  • Stream analytical data back to your Dataware house

  • And more...

We are curious to hear what the broader development community will invent with it.
